Contents:—(1) title: (3–15) dedication to the University of Oxford: (16) Errata: 1–126, the treatise or “Answere”: 129, a title:—“A | FVRTHER | IVSTIFICATION | OF BOWING AT | THE NAME OF | IESUS. | OR | AN EXAMINATION | OF SVCH CONSIDERA-|BLE REASONS AS ARE | made by Mr. Prinne [&c., exactly as in the main title, imprint and all, except that the two mottos are different]”: 130–132 (misprinted 140–142) “To the Reader”: 133–206, the further answer.
See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 654, where Wood quotes two letters about this book, one against it from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Secretary, one for it by Laud, which show that the book was in course of printing in May-June 1631, but not yet published on June 22. The error of pagination on pp. 130–32 (“140–42”) was due to the prefatory matter of the second part being supposed by the compositor to follow the 3rd leaf of what is now sheet S, instead of the 3rd leaf of sheet Q.

In 1622 the year of Pareus’s death several of his treatises were publicly burnt at Oxford, as opposed to the King’s authority, including his commentary on the Romans. Underlined words in the title are printed in red. The last 120 pages seem to have been printed in London, not Oxford.
